Singles Janet Jackson Appreciation Thread // Made For Now (Feat. Daddy Yankee) Out Now

[JustCKing]

It’s because of the Tidal thing. Granted Rihanna has always had lower American album sales compared to her worldwide sales and its vice versus for Beyoncé

But the leak and the lack of promotion for Anti fukked it up. Then she didn’t release a video for one of the most popular songs on the album that was always performed on singing competitions.

Actually, both albums were Tidal exclusives. Rihanna was releasing teasers on the Fox network for weeks leading up to the album. She even had singles that ended up getting scrapped from the album.

And Beyonce hasn't always had lower global sales than Rihanna, but Rihanna has lagged behind Beyonce in the U.S.

Yeah but the difference was Lemonade was not leaked like Anti was

That is the point we are making

It leaked after it was briefly available on Tidal. And to the point, all albums are immediately leaked after they pop up on streaming services and iTunes.

There are better songs on Unbreakable than no sl333p

lol.

I’m considering posting some of my favorite Janet album cuts that were not singles.. maybe like my favorite 2-3 from each.

 

[brownsugah]

Janet’s albums have always been r&b rooted pop with experimental sounds. I like the black eagle song. I like the one where she samples baby Michael and I love love the first track. I didn’t care for the Missy song though.

Album had dope songs.. I liked “No Sleep”, “Daamn Baby”, “Broken Hearts Heal”, “Should’ve Known Better”, “Night”, “Dream Maker/Euphoria”, “Take Me Away”...etc.

I think Unbreakable and Discipline (underrated imo) may be the most pop-sounding albums in her discography.

 

[brownsugah]

Playing now.. definitely a top 3 Janet song for me.

 

[brownsugah]

Jan is underrated as a singer imo. Them harmonies stay on fleek.

The overall point is that Janet reigns over any female not named Whitney Houston over the last 30-35 years and if we are talking about dual threat singers/dancers she's up there with even with the males.

Rihanna is cool, but unless we are talking singles, she isn't anywhere near them.

Janet Jackson made way better music than Whitney Houston...come on now...

And you are wrong. Beyonce actually broke Spotify records, so even if you count streaming, Beyonce still doesn't hurt:

Beyonce, Drake & More: Top 5 Largest Streaming Weeks for an Album in the U.S.

And even with the streaming numbers included Lemonade is still bigger than Anti.

Lemonade outsold anti by a clip of 200k in 2016.

Anti outsold lemonade by a clip of 300k in 2017

And is outselling lemonade in 2018.

You can check the billboard charts.

But I digress.


Anyone else still mad we only got one janet/michael collab?

I am.
Gooey Gus mad.

Was Billboard lying when they ranked Rihanna above Beyoncé on their all time BB 200 list???

 

[brownsugah]

No offense, but can y’all make a debate thread instead? This ain’t even about Janet anymore.
